Bibliography and references
The book SYNCHRONIZATION AND LINEARITY: An Algebra for Discrete Event Systems can be downloaded for free. The Scilab toolbox is based on this book.
NSP or ScicosLab Homepage of the official Scilab fork developed by some of the researchers who originally developed Scilab at INRIA and ENPC. This version contains a Max-Plus toolbox. Inside NSP or ScicosLab you can run the Max-Plus demonstration. Go to the
Demos
menu and selectMaxplus demos
. A pdf tutorial is available here explaining the demo. For the help of Max-Plus functions typehelp
and click on theMaxplus
link. Note that the newer version of ScicosLab is named Nsp but does not contain directly the Max-Plus toolbox.Stéphane Gaubert webpage in which you can find the C code source of the Howard algorithm (general "maximal circuit mean" problem, in directed graphs). You can watch his video, in French, introducing the (max,+) algebra and petri nets.
Jean-Pierre Quadrat Many English and French PDF documents about (max,+) algebra with applications can be found.
Jarosław Stańczyk gives a Matlab version (and/or GNU Octave) including a good introduction document to the Max-Plus algebra, modeling, analysis and control of Discrete Event Systems. His toolbox is available at this link I also made a fork of it.
Giggle Liu An other Julia package for (max,+).
